Maintaining reduction while simultaneously achieving compression in radial and\/or ulnar shaft fractures during compression plate application can be challenging, particularly with unstable segmental and\/or transverse fracture patterns. Nitinol compression staples have become increasingly used as a reduction aid because of their ability to provide continuous compression between the staple legs at the fracture site, low profile, and ease of application. These staples have the potential to be an effective means of maintaining reduction and applying compression before definitive plate fixation for radial and ulnar shaft fractures. We present our surgical technique and an associated patient series detailing our institution\u2019s experience, highlighting favorable outcomes and potential considerations when using nitinol compression staples for forearm fracture management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/bth.0000000000000496","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,17]],"date-time":"2024-09-17T17:14:48Z","timestamp":1726593288000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Use of Nitinol Staples as Reduction Aids in Fixation of Forearm Diaphyseal Fractures: Surgical Technique and Case Series"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8907-904X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ethan Y.","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic, Oral, and Maxillofacial Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel O.","family":"Emovon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Duke University School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew W.","family":"Hollins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic, Oral, and Maxillofacial Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eliana B.","family":"Saltzman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Division of Hand Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suhail K.","family":"Mithani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Plastic, Oral, and Maxillofacial Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marc J.","family":"Richard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Division of Hand Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tyler S.","family":"Pidgeon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Division of Hand Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20250221","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.3109\/17453679909011249","article-title":"Forearm fractures in Malmo, Sweden.
